Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval to conduct a field test of We Grow Together: The Q-CCIIT Professional Development System. These professional development (PD) tools and the interactive website featuring the materials were developed to promote high-quality caregiver-child interactions in settings serving infants and toddlers. We Grow Together is based on the principles and practices emphasized by the Quality of Caregiver-Child Interactions for Infants and Toddlers (Q-CCIIT) observational measure. This field test aims to: (1) examine changes in caregiver practice that we expect to be associated with use of the We Grow Together system, and (2) examine implementation of We Grow Together. As a secondary goal, we will further evaluate the psychometrics of the Q-CCIIT measure. Ultimately, findings from this field test will inform refining We Grow Together to make evidence-based practices as user-friendly as possible for caregivers of infants and toddlers. This request is for collecting data from field test participants from summer 2018 through spring 2019. First, we will screen ECE settings for eligibility in summer 2018. Second, we plan to collect a background survey with caregivers and PD providers in fall 2018. Third, in fall 2018 and spring 2019 we plan two rounds of classroom observations using the Q-CCIIT measure and classroom rosters. Fourth, we plan to collect data on the use and implementation of We Grow Together through the interactive website from fall 2018 through spring 2019. Finally, we plan to conduct a feedback survey with caregivers and PD providers in spring 2019.
